Re: Must FAIL!! Whole world download
There is a new service that has cached copies of loads of stuff so you'd only be downloading it from your local Node. The service is called Node Storage Acquired (bit strange branding) but reportedly this NSA has copies of all the interwebs traffic so can off load local copies of MS or your own, family files at will.
They considered a Kickstarter project but in the end were funded by someone called BlackBudget which I think is a financial group from the states or something.
Recently they had a bit of a pinch on new BlackBudget stuff until some goal post called "smoke has blown over" is reached so they are looking to raise fund direct from the end user (as opposed to indirect which has worked so far) so their new products are;
NSA-Mail filter and store (can't deselect that one),
NSA house watch,
NSA-P2P (your files are our responsibility)
NSA character profiles (free with every non sign up)
They also offer a pick and extradite service together with the more fun packed get-away called rendition.
Its all good and they will be handling about 60% of the webs traffic from here in with some subsidiary handling the last 40%.
